Right now, there is an abundance of different health maintenance methods that are popular throughout the world. I myself am always trying to stick to a basic natural lifestyle by consuming pesticide free fruit and vegetables, no added preservatives, and fermented foods. In terms of healthy options, Australia is more advanced than Japan, where you can easily get pesticide free vegetables and most shopping centers have a healthy shop where you can buy supplements and protein as well as organic everyday items making it very easy to lead a natural lifestyle. However, it’s just as easy to lead a junky lifestyle too……

When I was living in Japan, I would eat rice balls from the convenience store without even thinking about it, and was one of those people who would say “So convenient and tasty!!” without reading the ingredients label! It’s cheap and convenient, but I never knew how much of a heavy price you pay in terms of your health.

I’m sure there are lots of other people who like myself have completely changed their lifestyle and diet since coming to Australia. I still haven’t managed to fully take out preservatives from my diet, but I’m going to continue trying to decrease the amount of unneeded aspects in my diet in the least stressful way I can. One of my joys at the moment is taking part in this meeting in Robina called “Revive the power of life”. I’m really looking forward to the talk about the natural healing power that humans originally have.

I’d like to introduce the micro vegetables (sprouts) that I’ve recently started. I found out that you can make cute Chia seeds sprout after just 7~10 days, a food that most people have already tried. Put the soaked seeds onto some kitchen paper and leave it in a corner of the kitchen where the sun can’t get at it, and all you have to do is change the water once every day, and that’s it! You can make this super nutritious topping that easily! The taste is a little bitter, but you can eat it up no problem! It adds a nice touch to make a delicious salad! Why don’t you try it once for yourself!
